Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.

You make films whether they're dramas or comedies about neurotic people. Flawed people. Interesting personality traits. To make them about calm, stable untroubled people isn't interesting.
Woody Allen
Image
This sounds so bleak when I say it, but we need some delusions to keep us going. And the people who successfully delude themselves seem happier than the people who can't.
Woody Allen

There's nothing wrong with you that a little Prozac and a polo mallet can't cure.

I don't believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Woody Allen

Who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who gets fooled by the idiot?
Woody Allen
Image
I never knew what Amazon was. I've never seen any of those series, even on cable. I've never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I'm out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there's Charlie Rose and I go to sleep.

American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
Woody Allen
Image
One filmmaker makes films that are deep, intellectual, profound and confrontational. And the other one makes purely vacuous, escapist films. I'm not sure the one who makes escapist films is making a poorer contribution than the one who makes the deeper films.
Woody Allen

I think Hollywood has gone in a disastrous path. It's terrible. The years of cinema that were great were the '30s, '40s, not so much the '50s...but then the foreign films took over and it was a great age of cinema as American directors were influenced by them and that fueled the '50s and '60s and '70s.

I don't like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings.
Woody Allen
Image
I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.
Woody Allen

With me it's just a genetic dissatisfaction with everything.

I see the glass half full...but of poison.

In real life, Keaton believes in God. But she also believes that the radio works because there are tiny people inside it.

If my soul exists without my body I am convinced all my clothes will be loose-fitting

My relationship with death remains the same - I'm strongly against it.

Life is a tragedy filled with suffering and despair and yet some people do manage to avoid jury duty.

... years of insanity have made this guy crazy!

The last time I was inside a woman was when I went to the Statue of Liberty.

In real life I'm not the character I play in my films. I'm reasonably competent, I work very hard, I'm disciplined, I lead a very middle class life. I work in the mornings, I have lunch, I practise my clarinet, I go to the movies, I eat out in restaurants or watch ball games on television or at the ball games.
